questions

I am still out here.  I read the board several times a week.  I just dont post.  Dont know what to say. 

I have been having problems with acid reflux.  Sitting up or laying down.  I find if i dont eat the burn starts.  going to bed is not pleasant.  when i am hungry  the burn is not worth feeling hungry.   it is really getting bad.  

I am wondering. . . I would like to have my band loosen and then check for hernia or such - my problem is INSURANCE  the policy does not recognize gastric for weight.  I can not afford to pay outright for visits to see Dr. Peters.  Any suggestions. 

Hello to all and Thank you for your continued support.

 

 

 

Take it from one who knows................get it taken care of soon. Do not put it off. GERD exists without having had WLS, so it may be possible that your insurance won't view it as such and treat it as a separate issue.  Seriously, do not put it off. It will not go away.

Cecilia, Glad to see you post. I think it would be considered a medical issue. Please call your Dr. Please let us know how you make out. See you lighter. Joanne

There is always a small chance that you have developed or are developing an ulcer also.
